The first of only two original "Pink Panther" cartoons in which the Pink Panther talks; the second is Pink Ice (1965).
The first Pink Panther cartoon to have dialogue in it.
Comedian and impersonator Rich Little voices Pinky in this short, while versatile voice artist Paul Frees does the eccentric hunter's lines as well as that of his native gun bearer.
One of the few times Pinky smokes during the actual short.
